Some people think Ariana gave Abel his big break, but I'm inclined to think it was Gaga. Riding high on her successful Born This Way era, she released Born This Way: The Remix, in late 2011. It included a remix of her #29 smash "Marry the Night" produced by - who else? - The Weeknd.



Jay Z publicly stanned for this remix.

yes. another thing gaga invented.

No.

Nah lol. I don't even think Ariana put him on the map. I mean, she kinda helped, but his own fanbase, the success of the 50SoG soundtrack, etc. are what made him blow up IMO

Florence also released a remix of his yet both are unknown outside of ATRL

This is the first time I've heard of this remix so no.

Drake put abel on the map.

Would Cherry lie?

Yep
Queen of starting careers

yes

Yes, she did.

No one has even heard about MTN let alone a remix

.

That is my favorite Gaga remix by far I love the way they turned the original Marry the Night into a defeated and begging sounding song.

But no it didn't put him on the map, I'll say Drake did. To be fair though, the Weeknd did get plenty of attention on his own with his first Mixtape which he put out on his own.

No, Drake did

The receipts don't lie. It's clear everyone discovered him from the remix of the smash hit Marry The Night.

Drake put him on the map...

lmao not even close.
